LONDON, Feb. 19
A good trade augury is the announcement that the number of foreign buyers to visit the British Industries Fair in London and Birmingham next week will be 35 per cent above last year. The Economist, in extracts from the Board of Trade returns, details Britain’s twelve best customers in 1938 in the following order:—South Africa, Australia, India, Burma, Canada, Germany, the United States, Eire, Argentina, New Zealand, Denmark, France and Holland.
However when the value of imports per head of population is taken, New Zealand is easily first with £ll 19s lid, Eire second with £6 17s 11, and Australia third with £5 10s lid.
